Post SC stage 3 vs TC stock

I have been contemplating buying a ZZP stage 3 kit for my SC. Im curious if the gains are actually worth it, or should i just look into getting a TC balt.

Here we go.... $ for $ TC is cheaper to mod. If your looking for potential then lsj is the way to go

Im not looking to make a crazy fast car. My balt is stage 2 right now, but its still a slowbalt. I just dont know if the stage 3 gain will be enough for me to want to keep the car or just sell it and get something different

If you sell a perfectly good car just to buy the same thing with some different parts, you're an idiot imho.

People calm down lol they are alot of guy that sell their lsj for an lnf, op u need to decide what amount is enough hp ur happy with and then we can give u a true answer. Personally id rather have an sc balt then turbo but both have their own perks.

How am i an idiot exactly. Its takes alot of mods to make the power that an lnf has with an lsj. Buying a stock lnf would be a **** ton more reliable than a modded to **** lsj. Plus im at almost 100K miles. That may not seem like alot to some people, but i would get one with around 40K.

Id be happy if i could get over 300hp

Dont listen to that moron.

I traded in my LSJ for an LNF with half the miles and never looked back. Now, thats not to say the LSJ is a bad car but I will just leave it at that
